OTTAWA,
ON, May 7, 2024 /CNW/ - Canada's largest public service unions,
representing more than 260,000 federal public service workers, will
hold a joint press conference to announce further actions opposing
the government's misguided three-day in-office mandate.
Tens of thousands of workers have already expressed their
frustration and outrage with the one-size-fits-all mandate – made
without any consultation with unions or workers – that violates
federal public service workers' rights and disregards their
well-being.
The Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC), the Professional Institute of
the Public Service of Canada
(PIPSC), the Canadian Association of Professional Employees (CAPE),
and the Association of Canadian Financial Officers (ACFO) will
provide an update on upcoming actions and next steps.
WHEN: Wednesday,
May 8, 11:30 a.m. ET
WHO:
- Chris Aylward, PSAC National
President
- Sean O'Reilly, PIPSC Elected
Vice-President
- Nathan Prier, CAPE
President
- Dany Richard, ACFO
President
WHERE: Room 135-B, West Block, House of Commons
